I'm looking to get a Cisco 1760 router with CME on it off ebay. What should I look to get on it as far as IOS, memory, RAM, ports, etc? Are T1 or FXS ports available on 1760s?

This is a fantastic link that you will refer to often when working with CME:
Cisco Unified CME and Cisco IOS Software Version Compatibility Matrix [Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express] - Cisco Systems
1760 routers max out at 160/64. My 1760 runs CME just fine with 48 meg of flash. I don't load all the phone loads, just the ones I need.
The obvious feature set that supports CME is ipvoice. however, it isn't the only one. Feature sets that support CME include:

If the 1760 has a PVDM it can support VIC cards. The PVDM is not required to support just CME. You can add a PVDM if the 1760 you end up with doesn't have one.
